At 5.30am our very unwelcome alarms started ringing and our looooooonnnnnnnggggggggg day begun.
We headed off to Ashford International Station to board the Eurostar train to Paris. They made us go through security - just like at the airport and then we were stamped out of England. A better than English but not quite up to French standard Croissant was breakfast and then we were away!
The train into Paris goes through the Chunnel for about 30 minutes, and then takes about another hour and 15 minutes to get into the centre of Paris. Bizarrely they do not make you go through immigration at the Fremch end....so we were out of England but not in France according to our passport stamps. Weird! We asked for some directions and got ourselves promptly onto the local train that whizzed us to Paris Disneyland (which looks just like Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland!)
A selection for you....pick the similarities to other blog posts!

| And the highlight of the day...the Mine Train!! |
We walked and walked and walked. Exhausted we crashed at Planet Hollywood for dinner before heading back on the TGV high speed train to CDG Airport where our hotel room was waiting for us. ...where we slept REALLY well!
Is the Mine Train like Grizzly Gulch?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - that might be what it was called! Think the Mine Train was the Ocean Park one!
ReplyDeleteSandra: Having this morning observed a certain 13 yr old's energetic steering of the vacuum cleaner, it does not surprise me to learn that Lauren's driving of the Disneyland car is a little more precise :) Chairlegs - be afraid, be very afraid....
